    The froch vs Kessler Ringside tickets are £500 do we think this is to much? i paid ringside VIP for froch vs Bute which was only £300

    kessler - froch means a lot more than froch - bute.. a lot

    that was bute's first step up in the SMW divison and bute was nothing more than a hype fighter. it was a good fight for froch to take

    For ringside seats in a fight like this I would say it's pretty reasonable.

    Have any of the undercards been named yet?
    (Or will they be filled with local talent)

    Some one must pay Kessler and it sure as hell wasn't going to be out of Eddies pocket.

    For a fight like this, ringside seats for 500 is very good and worth it. If you're not convinced, watch the first fight again.

    I think it is okay for super fights like these.

    I just think its a massive increase and the size of the arena has doubled

    any big name fighter in the US(dlh, mayweather, tyson, paq), actual ringside would be 10K+ in vegas. two rows back, 3-5k.

    1200.00 floor seats(15-20 rows back) are the norm at the mgm grand garden.

    all tickets were sold within two and a half HRS.

    and yes, £500 seems alright for ringside seats. it's a massive fight. and that's without knowing who's fighting on the undercard. if it's a good undercard, then that's even better.
